Horrible experience

After hiring Erika as a Parent Coordinator, I found her to be disingenuous, impartial and biased. She wasn't available when needed and seemed uninterested. She did not act solely in the best interest of the child. I was dissappionted and would not recommend her to anyone!

Erika

Not sure where to begin attempting to find the right words for Erika; coming from a dad that didn’t know one thing that was involved with gaining full physical & legal custody of my oldest daughter! By far my case was not the easiest, it lingered for years after the win, but she was amazingly remarka...ble! One thing is for sure I learned a lot from her super knowledge of the ins and outs of the law, and court proceedings! If I needed her she was there! My family and myself always recommend Erika for her diligent service. Erika you rock, and we thank you, RB

What matters most

I first contacted Mrs.Dannemann Slater back in 2004 for child custody case after meeting with her and getting to know a little more about her I hired her right away to represent myself and my son in this case. Erica fought very hard in this case she put her best foot forward and the outcome was Grand...! Fast forward a little I reach out to her again and also hired her for a new case in 2016 for an adoption. She not only won that case as well but she also made us feel like family. She had retained all information from our previous case and also was willing and dedicated to help. Erika jumped right in with details and documents needed for this new case without taking a second guess she jumped out there and begin building this case all while of course making sure she kept the best interest of the child in the Forefront I can never thank her enough for the way she molded and shaped our family into something great. If you are looking for someone willing to fight and stay by your side no matter what hardships come upon you she is the best attorney for the job

Best Lawyer in the area-HIGHLY recommended!!

Mrs. Slater is the best lawyer in MD, by far! She has handled 3 cases for my family. Mrs. Slater is extremely passionate about her clients and the services that she provides. She was highly recommended to me by a coworker, who's family she represented. I trusts not only Mrs. Slater's experience a...nd education, I completely trust her opinion. She has always displayed that she had my children's best interest at heart. She is extremely organized and confident during trials. She always ensured that I was educated during the process, which eased my anxiety around the trial. I have recommended multiple clients to Mrs Slater, who were all MORE than pleased with her representation. I was even asked for her information by my ex-husband (whom was a defendant in a trial she represented me in) because he wanted to pass her information along for a friend of his. (SHE IS THAT GOOD!!!!!) She is my family lawyer and has been for almost 11 years. I need more stars for this rating.

So good I kept going back to her

Erika was just what I needed at one of the hardest points in my life and I am forever grateful that she was recommended to me by a close friend. She took her time and listened like no other lawyer had before (I went to many!) and she really kept my best interest at heart (and my kids too!). Erika i...s meticulous with details, astute in her testimony, and persevering when it comes to what is best for her clients. I have recommended Erika to many, many people who need a family lawyer and I trust her - both as a professional and as a friend. She's the smart choice for you, no question.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have worked with Ms. Slater on several different cases over the years, at times as opposing counsel, and more recently when she was appointed to represent the children in a highly contested case. She is consistently professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"It is no surprise that the reviews for Ms. Slater indicate that she provided her client's with reassurance and comfort. I worked with Ms. Slater where she represented the children in a highly contentious divorce case. She focused on the children's needs without letting the parents or their attorneys sway her opinion without substantial evidence. Ms. Slater objectively listened to both parents and worked very hard on behalf of the children. She is knowledgeable about the law. I highly recommend this attorney and look forward to working with her in the future."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
